Jag försöker att bli smartare vad gäller glykogendepåer och varför feta människor är starkare än smala människor. Jag läste följande:
The Real Reason Being Fat Helps You Lift More
That said, when you’re “bigger”, you’ll often notice that you can lift more. In my opinion, this is primarily due to the fact that you’re in an overfed state for a prolonged period of time.
Remember that whole spheal about nutrition being performance enhancing? Well, water, unlike fat, DOES add to leverage. And what is the primary determinant of how much water a natural powerlifter carries? That answer is the current state of their glycogen levels. Glycogen levels are determined by your carbohydrate intake. When you’re constantly eating enough to gain weight, assuming you’re not doing some sort of low carb non-sense, your glycogen tank is completely full.
Not only does this mean you’re carrying more water which DOES improve leverage, but you also go into each workout in a more recovered state and with more overall energy in your tank (because glycogen levels are full). Over time, this is going to lead to increased performance both via the synthesis of new muscle tissue and simply due to the fact that eating more, in general, is better for performance. The being fat part has little to do with it.

Jag sammanfattade genom att göra detta diagram:
Overfed state -> Stronger
High carbohydrate intake -> High glycogen levels
High glycogen levels -> High water levels -> Good leverages
High glycogen levels -> Better recovered and more energy left -> Better synthesis of new muscle tissue
Min fråga är nu: Vi vill ju ha bra glykogendepåer och detta får vi genom att äta mycket kolhydrater. Men kan man få bra glykogendepåer genom att få i sig energi på annat sätt än kolhydrater? Till exempel genom att dricka mjölk? I mjölk är det inte så mycket kolhydrater utan snarare är energin i fettet, visst?
Tack på förhand!
